+# Create Dev Setup
+
+## Define some names
+
+will be later referred using the right notation
+
+ * Github app name:  `<github-app>` e.g., GithubBot Revised
+ * Localtunnel custom domain: `<custom-domain>` e.g., githubbot-revised 
+ * telegram bot name: `<telegram-bot>` e.g., githubrevised_bot 
+ * random webhook url secret: `<webhook-secret>` e.g., abcde 
+
+create an `.env` file in the repo directory and enter the following values:
+
+```
+DEBUG=True
+
+SERVER_SUBDOMAIN=<custom-domain>
+SERVER_URL_BASE=https://<custom-domain>.localtunnel.me
+```
+
+## Register new Github app
+
+### Define App
+
+Go to: https://github.com/settings/apps/new
+
+enter following values while replacing the corresponding chosen names:
+
+* name: `<github-app>`
+* url: `https://t.me/<telegram-bot>`
+* webhook url: `https://<custom-domain>.localtunnel.me`
+* user callback url: `https://<custom-domain>.localtunnel.me/github/auth`
+* setup url: `https://t.me/<telegram-bot>`
+
+permissions:
+ * repo admin -> read
+ * repository contents -> read
+ * deployments -> read
+ * issues -> read+write
+ * repo meta -> read
+ * pages -> read
+ * pr -> read
+ * repo projects -> read
+ * security vulneratibly alerts -> read
+ * commit status -> read
+ * organizatin projects -> read
+ * team discussions -> read
+
+events
+ * all
+
+This will results in values for the following ids:
+
+```
+App ID: e.g., 12345
+(OAuth) Client ID: e.g., Iv1.abcd...
+(OAuth) Client secret: e.g., 123...
+```
+
+### Generate private key
+create a new private key and store it in the repo directory as `private-key.pem`
+
+### Configure repo
+extend the `.env` file with: 
+
+```
+GITHUB_APP_NAME=telegramgithubbot-sam
+GITHUB_APP_ID=
+GITHUB_WEBHOOK_SECRET=<webhook-secret>
+GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=
+GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=
+```
+
+## Create Telegram bot
+
+### Create via BotFather
+Use bot father to create a new bot named `<telegram-bot>`
+
+```
+/newbot
+```
+
+e.g., results in `https://t.me/githubrevised_sam_bot` along with a secret token
+
+```
+token: 34334:adff3f...
+```
+
+### Advanced BotFather settings
+
+enable inline mode
+```
+/setinline ... to inline query enable
+```
+
+add available commands for better autocompletion
+
+```
+start - Start the bot
+help - Show help
+login - Login to Github
+privacy - Privacy Policy
+settings - Settings
+```
+
+### Configure bot
+extend the `.env` file with the received token
+```
+TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=
+```
+
+## Launch docker-compose 
+
+
+```
+docker-compose up
+```
+
+now you should be able to chat with the bot.
